Down by The Canebreak
Down by the canebreak down by the mill There lives a yeller gal Her name is Nancy Till She knows how I love her she knows it long I'm going to serinade her and sing her this song
Cho. Come love come The boat lies low She lies high and dry on the Ohio Come love come along with me
I'll row you down the river down to old Tennessee
Open the window oh love do
Listen to the music I'm playing for you
Open the window oh love do
While I harmonize my voice on the old banjo
Come love come I now must away
I've a long way to travel before the break of day Next time I come be ready for to go I'll sail you down the river on the Ohio
(Cho.)
